Greg Brown: Birchmere 3-15-07 Alexandria, Virginia


Recommended Posts

This was a great show. In addition to the show I ran into Greg at the bar before the show. We got to talk about about 10 minutes about all kinds of cool stuff. Pretty nice to shoot the breeze with a musical hero of mine.

 

If you have not seen him and are thinking about it, do it. Greg is a national treasure. His folk music tells a story of America's past and he has a great artistic insight to today's America.

While Mr. Brown lives in my town and is married to an aquaintance of mine, he never seems to play round these parts.

 

He has the most sonorous speaking voice I believe I have ever heard.

 

Thanks for posting this. :cheers

Greg is great. i am surprised that he is not more well known throughout America. He is like the Bruce Springsteen of Iowa! I got to know him pretty well when the agency I used to work for booked him. His wife is DeMent-ED though (looney!).
